Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 34 - Final 5 Power of Veto

And the five soldier on this week, with Jackson as HoH and with Tommy and Cliff on the block

Five will soon become 4, but who will make it to the final four and a step closer to the half million grand prize

We pick up proceedings after Tommy and Cliff were nominated by Jackson, and in this instance Tommy is the main target with Cliff as the pawn. A situation I suspect Cliff is getting quite used to now.

Tommy is still lamenting the loss of Christie, and thinks it's really hard with four people who he claims backstabbed. Drink it in, Tommy, you did your fair share as well so stop wallowing in self pity.

Staying with Tommy, he is disappointed to hear how Jackson and Holly are talking about her. Holly is saying she wanted Christie out long before him. Holly wonders if Christie may be a sociopath, and she says Christie drove her nuts. She says she can't fault Tommy for being so loyal and staying by her side. Jackson tells him he wasn't wrong about Nick, but may have erred about Christie. But that is short lived as he proceeds to talk bad about Christie as well.

Tommy is so anxious to bursting, and wants to tell the two of them his big secret. Shortly afterwards, he does just that as he FINALLY gets Jackson and Holly together and tells them about him and Christie. Apologies all round from the golden couple, as they sit and listen intently to Tommy spilling his guts

Now this could go one of two ways, he could get them to work with him or he could be seen as the biggest threat. Personally I think it was a mistake to tell them, but it could get him packed off to jury as he would have the majority of the votes if he gets to the end. Jackson is more determined than ever to win this Veto.

Veto competition

Straight down to business this time, as everybody plays from this point now the house is down to 5. It's the firm favourite comp called BB Comics. In this one they zipline past the correct comics displayed in a window, and have to memorize them as there will be 2 comics for each houseguest, and one of those will have something different about them, as in spot the difference. The houseguest to put all cards up correctly and in order as displayed in the window will win the Veto, and there are no penalties or bonuses in this one. So it's basically keep going until they are all finished.

Comic Book names were as follows:

Nicole - Nicolossus
Nick - Elast-Nick
Jackson - Dr. Jackson Michie Hyde
Kat - Conspiro
Holly - Pinot Noir
Cliff - Ground Hog
Tommy - Flash Monster
Bella - Liberty Bella
Jack - Jack-Ass
Analyse - Fowl Play
Sam - Big Rig
Jessica - Model Mayhem
Ovi - Captain Cookie
Kemi - Keminator
David - Freeze Frame
Christie - Desti-Knee

Order of play and times:

Jackson - 15:59
Holly - 38:22
Cliff - 26:32
Nicole - 10:58
Tommy - 14:21

And another comp in the bag for Nicole and to add to her resume, as she wins Veto. So it looks like she will use it on Cliff for sure. Which does raise an interesting problem for the golden couple if that situation arises......

Jackson and Nicole confirmed and locked in for final 4, just a question of who will join them after the Veto ceremony

Celebrations abound for Nicole, as she is so happy about making final 4. Can she still win this, oh hell yeah. Her chances have just gone up another notch. Jackson is also feeling very confident as he thinks it will be him, Holly, Nicole and Cliff. Hang on, hasn't he forgotten something as in the only other person who could touch the block is Holly. 

He only remembers this amongst the celebrations of his grand plan, and goes off to tell Holly. Holly wonders if there is any way Nicole could be persuaded not to use the Veto. Oh hell no. Jackson worries that Nicole and Cliff could pull Tommy in and get rid of Holly. Jackson won't be able to play in the next HoH comp, as he is HoH at the moment. Holly worries this could be a perfect opportunity to vote her out, and on Jackson's HoH no less.

Cliff is very happy and very confident he has made final 4. Hold your horses, Hogg, Nicole hasn't used the Veto yet. Although it is VERY likely, he will make final 4. Talk then comes around to Jackson not being able to play in the final 4 HoH comp. Nicole wonders if Holly should be sent home as the showmance is a bit on the strong side, not to mention this final 4 alliance. Cliff is confident Holly can be beaten, and Tommy is alone now. Nicole all but confirms to Jackson that she will be using the Veto, and promises no funny business. She wants to break up the showmance, as it's a rare opportunity, but Tommy is still the main target. She makes a pact that Jackson and Holly must feel secure.

Nicole makes her way to Tommy to let him know she will be using the Veto to save Cliff, and maybe to get rid of Holly. This is all to get on Tommy's good side. She confesses that she wants Tommy there, and for him to go and campaign right down to the last second.

Tommy really though he was toast when he lost the Veto, but he is going to take Nicole's words to heart and really campaign hard. Nicole then goes back to Cliff, and tries to explain why keeping Tommy could have its good points, as in breaking up another duo at the first attempt much like Nicole did with Tommy and Christie. But if Holly stays, she will take Jackson to final 3 and vice versa.

Cliff does express concerns about Tommy staying, as he rightly points out he himself will have no chance next to Tommy in the next HoH comp. As in if Tommy stays Cliff or Nicole would be out next and off to jury house.

Veto ceremony

Unsurprisingly, Nicole uses the Veto on Cliff, and Holly is put on the block as the only option seeing Cliff has just been taken off and Tommy is already there.

First time on the block for Holly, so everyone in this season has touched the block at least once now.

Tommy has some faint hope he will stay as Nicole wants him to, and promises to campaign hard. Holly knows her fate is in the hands of Nicole and Cliff as they will be the only people voting come eviction. Still a lot of uncertainty about who will go, and it promises to be flips, flips and more flips before Nicole and Cliff settle on who will go out in 5th place

Will it be Tommy or Holly, Nicole and Cliff will decide in Episode 35.....

Very risky either way in my opinion, as if Tommy stays he will have the votes from jury especially Christie's if he gets to the end against anyone, and if Holly stays the showmance goes to the end

Slight delay for BB on Blast's new pod, which is now expected to drop after the final 4 nominations episode, and the link will be posted here when that is written up.
